I'm not familiar with iPhones.
I'm visiting my Mom for two days.
 
My mom gave me an old iPhone she hasn't used in years.
What do I need to do while I'm with her to get it registered to me and not
to her? It is an old iPhone and hasn't been on a network in years.
 
I charged it to 100% and went to the gear settings icon.
It's still logged in as her.
 
In Settings > General > About it says the following
Name = iPhone
Software Version = 12.5.5
Model Name = iPhone 6 Plus
Model Number = MGCK2LL/A
Serial Number = 12 characters
Network = Not Available
Capacity = 16 GB
Available = 1.98 GB
Modem Firmware = 7.80.04
 
What do I need to do to de-register it from her while I'm still visiting?

Are you sure you can just reset it?
What if it has the Find My crap on it?

Have tried doing it? You can check it worked by logging into  your mom's
Apple account in a browser and see the iphone no longer shows up as a
device.

You probably aren't aware of how Android does it but if you simply follow
instructions to reset Android, you're screwed forever (after Android 9).

Fortunately iphones aren't like android ;)
